ATP = adenosine triphosphate
ADP = adenosine diphosphate

It's as simple as tri and di. ATP has three phosphates; ADP has two.

Hope that helps! :)

I know that now but I only found the diff in my second yr of my degree. The differences were never covered in my first yr or my foundation yr yet I still had to learn about ATP and ADP. It was very confusing, I can get where dani is coming from.
